When a Real Estate Developer Became Russia's Greatest Intelligence Victory
What if everything you thought you knew about modern politics was actually the final chapter of a spy novel written decades ago? Throughout the 1970s and 80s, while Americans were watching Rocky defeat Ivan Drago on screen, Soviet intelligence was quietly cultivating something far more valuable than any fictional propaganda victory-a real American businessman whose vanity, greed, and desperate hunger for validation made him the perfect long-term asset. This wasn't a thriller plot. This was patience elevated to an art form, a decades-long operation so audacious that when it finally succeeded, even seasoned intelligence officers struggled to believe it had actually worked.
